Maker Birthdays: Johannes Kepler

Happy Birthday Johannes Kepler!
Kepler is best known for establishing laws of planetary motion (explained in the above vid series) which later helped form the basis of Isaac Newton’s work on gravity. His research in the field of optics resulted in the invention of the “Keplerian” refracting telescope.
